@GottaLaff prosecuting Russian officials for #corruption in #Putin's Russia is like prosecuting Michael Cohen for breaking campaign finance laws in the USA.
Sure, it happened. Issue is: Why did it happen? Who is stoking the system? Who is issuing the orders? The answers tell you who needs to go to jail.
The people who have dared to pose such questions inside #Russia --most notably and recently #Navalny --have consistently ended up dead.
If we don't want a society like that, we #Convict45.
Authoritarians across the globe are shutting down independent media and locking up reporters. More than 520 journalists are currently imprisoned worldwide, according to the advocacy group Reporters Without Borders. The Wall Street Journal has lifted its paywall to this article that reports on the surge in government crackdowns on the press. https://flip.it/UNAbgy #News#WorldNews#ReportersWithoutBorders#Navalny#EvanGershkovich
US and European leaders have posted 200 times more comments, tweets, IG posts and interviews in the past few days about the death of #Navalny in #Russia than ongoing #genocide and death of 31000 palestinians and starvation of over half o the 2 million inhabitants of #Gaza in the past 5 month.
@chrisramirez There is no evidence that Putin had anything to do with Navalny's death (even Ukraine reported #Navalny died from natural causes).
Odd that the best champion to oppose Putin the West could dig up was a devout neo-nazi. Or perhaps it isn't so odd at all? https://youtu.be/9blsyFzpqDI?si=k-3KsHZbQGU9S84J
The Kremlin banned public and private media from widely covering Navalny's funeral
A Moscow Times source close to the Kremlin and a senior official at a major national publication said that the presidential administration instructed both state television and online media not to cover Navalny's farewell and funeral
#Biden administration will impose a fresh slate of sanctions on more than 500 targets on Friday in response to the death of opposition figure Alexey #Navalny and on the eve of Russia’s two-year war in Ukraine, according to a Treasury official.
" If the Republican party and its far-right allies around the world are doing everything possible to assist Putin in destroying Ukraine, it is because they understand that Putin's defeat in Ukraine would likely destabilize his regime further and create the conditions for change."
"We can honor Navalny by working to defeat Putin's partners before they manage to install a version of autocracy here, with another 'thieving little man in his bunker" at the helm. As Navalny knew well, once you lose freedom, it is incredibly difficult to regain it."
This would be a violation of the #1967outerspacetreaty Outer Space Treaty, to which Russia is a signatory reports #Bloomberg citing sources familiar with the issue.
#EU approves it’s 13th sanctions package and "one of the broadest" against #Russian so far. This will add almost 200 entities and individuals to #sanctions lists.
The #US plans to announce it's own package of sanctions after the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei #Navalny
It would be really funny if the death of #Navalny forces Western countries to deliver more weapons to #Ukraine 🇺🇦 . Especially if our politics finally force #Scholz to deliver #Taurus#Taurus4UkraineNow 🇩🇪 . This would be really against everything in which so called "russian opposition" believes and everything it wants to. It could be btw the best thing #Nawalny would ever do in his useless life. Let's hope.
